What I tend to do is to create a separate binary package which just contains
the /usr/bin/foo script, and have that depend on python3-foo (or less
desirably, python-foo).
You'll already have two binary packages for python-foo and python3-foo, so a
foo-bin binary package can make sense, as that will also contain manpages most
likely. It gets a little more complicated if you need a 'foo' script which is
Python-version dependent, e.g. nose. But those applications are rare.
